Here is a link for Pod sterile Hostas.

And yes are correctly understanding that hosta must have a cold dormancy in order to live, that is one of the things that makes 'SunHosta" unique as far as I can tell. Here in Alabama I have had several hostas that lived only a short while and never returned and I attributed that to not having enough cold for them to have a successful dormant period. It appears the ones with the least requirements for cold hours do best here and also seem to be the ones that do better in the sun, and also are often the more fragrant ones. So naturally I am very interested in the new 'SunHosta' and am hoping it is not just a marketing gimmick.
